GOOGLE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE.

THE RECENT FLAP OVER  GOOGLE'S  DOMINANCE OVER

OTHER SEARCH ENGINES IS RIDICULOUS. ONE IS NOT

FORCED TO USE GOOGLE  SEARCH ENGINE. NOT

PROMOTING  COMPETITORS IS CALLED "FAIR TRADE"

IN MOST CIRCLES , IT IS BRAINLESS TO DO THIS.

THIS WOULD EQUAL  A  NAIVE FRUIT VENDOR STANDING
AT HIS ENTRANCE AND DIRECTING HIS POTENTIAL
CUSTOMERS TO ANOTHER FRUIT MARKET.

GOOGLE ADMITTEDLY CORNERED THE MARKET.

THEY ACCOMPLISHED THIS BY SUPPLYING A FACILE, RELIABLE,

SOURCE FOR USERS. COMPETITION IS HEALTHY, WHY

SHOULD GOOGLE UNDERMINE THEIR MARKET BY SENDING

USERS TO ANOTHER AND MOST LIKELY A LESS RELIABLE

SEARCH ENGINE. EVERYONE IS ONLY A CICK AWAY FROM

REJECTING GOOGLE. JUST CLICK YOUR MOUSE AND GO

TO FOUNDEM OR SUCH.

GOOGLE SUPPLIED AN OPEN FORUM FOR YEARS ,

USERS ARE SELDOM DENIED USE OF GOOGLE.

THEY CAPTURED MOST OF THE MARKET WITH UNPARALLELED

SERVICE, AN OPEN DOOR POLICY, AND A DIRECT PATH TO

AN INCREDIBLE ARRAY OF RELIABLE INFORMATION FOR

USERS. WE SHOULD HAVE SUCH TRANSPARENCY IN THE

GOVERNMENT AND CORPORATIONS.

SEARCH ENGINES WHO PICK THE BONES OF GOOGLE ALSO
USE THIS RELIABLE SOURCE TO FATTEN UP ON. THE ABSURD

CONSIDERATION OF LEVELING PENALTIES FOR  SUPPLYING
MOST OF THE WORLD WITH A RELIABLE AND OPEN SOURCE
IS AN INSULT TO GOOGLE AND THOSE WHO UTILIZE IT GLOBALLY,
IT IS AN ASSAULT ON BASIC FREEDOMS OF INFORMATION.

YES IT IS TRUE "NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED". A

SEARCH ENGINE THAT  RANKED NEAR THE TOP FOR

YEARS MAY PAY FOR IT'S SINS WITH TWO BILLION IN COLD

CASH, MORE OR LESS.

IN THE INTEREST OF FAIR PLAY AND FULL DISCLOSURE I

WILL ADMIT MY PREJUDICE SINCE I AM A CARD CARRYING

GOOGLE USER AND BLOGGER.

I WOULD NEVER DREAM OF USING FOUNDUM, EJUSTICE.FR

OR CIAO ,ESPECIALLY CIAO. WHEN I HAVE EASY ACCESS THE

RELIABILITY OF GOOGLE, U. TUBE, AND GOOGLE MAPS.

ALL THESE GOOGLE SITES OR UNDER THE MICROSCOPE

OF JEALOUS PROVIDERS AND PARANOID BUREAUCRATS

WITH QUESTIONABLE REASONS UNDER THEIR HATS AND

BETWEEN THEIR LEGS.

WHY SEEK OUT A SEARCH ENGINE WITH "ORIGINAL"

CONTEXT IS OR POSSIBLY SOURCED

DIRECTLY FROM GOOGLE. JUST CLICK ON GOOGLE  TO

AVOID THIS REDUNDANCY OF EFFORT. I HAVE NOT A
NOTION IF GOOGLE LOG RHYTHMS BOOGIE SOME PEOPLE
OUT OF THE TOP OR NOT. HOWEVER WHY SHOULD THEY

GIVE AWAY THEIR "FAMOUS ANDY" COOKIE RECIPE TO

OTHER SEARCH ENGINES OR BUREAUCRATS WHO HAVE

FREQUENT BAKE SALES LEADING TO UNDESERVED PROFIT.

IN THE SPIRIT OF AN OPEN FORUM GOOGLE AGREED

TO COOPERATE WITH ALMOST ANYONE WHO WITH A QUESTION.

AFTER ALL THEY FACILITATE  MILLIONS OF USERS EACH DAY,
WITHOUT HESITATION EACH HOUR AND EVERY MINUTE AND
SECOND.

LET THE COOKIES FALL WHERE THEY MAY AND THE

AMATEURS WILL CONTINUE TO EAT CRUMBS FROM
THE BOTTOM OF THE COOKIE JAR.

THE HIGH COST OF THE DRUG WAR?

OVERNIGHT SOLUTIONS ARE NOT IN THE FUTURE .
PROHIBITION OF ALCOHOL HAD THE SAME
HISTORY OF FEEDING CRIME AND CORRUPTION.
CANNABIS WILL EVENTUALLY FIND A PATH TO SOME
SORT OF LEGISLATION  LEADING TO THE CREATION
OF A HUGE INDUSTRY THAT WILL BENEFIT AMERICANS
AND NOT CRIMINALS.

A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM IS SIMPLE AND
SHOULD BE LEGISLATED ASAP. THE COST OF
COUNTER MEASURES TO THIS CRIME HAS GROWN
EXPONENTIALLY IN THE LOSS OF LIVES AND THE COST
OF ENFORCING EXISTING OBSOLETE LAWS. 

AMERICA YOU ARE THE PROBLEM.
 
MARY JANE IS A CASH CROP IN AMERICA THAT
MOSTLY BENEFITS CRIMINALS AND NOW WITH THE
HYPOCRITICAL MASS AGRICULTURE IN PLACE WILL
LARGELY BENEFIT NEWLY FORMED CORPORATIONS
THAT ARE IN NOW IN PLACE SET TO GOBBLE UP 
THE PROFITS OF "MEDICAL MARIJUANA "


THE SMALL FARMER,WHO MIGHT HAVE REPLACED HIS
CORN, WHEAT, AND VEGIES WITH THE SINGLE SOLUTION
OF GROWING ILLEGAL POT WILL HAVE TO LOOK FOR
ANOTHER CASH CROP.

AMERICANS  STUBBORNLY DENY THAT  ALCOHOL IS A
MUCH MORE DAMAGING LEGAL HABIT.

THE MYTH THAT MARIJUANA IS EVIL AND IS A PORTAL THAT
LEADS TO COCAINE AND OTHER DANGEROUS DRUGS IS
ANOTHER CON JOB BY THE GOVERNMENT SUPPORTED
BY THE RIGHT AND LEFT. YOU MIGHT CONSIDER CLOSING
THAT PORTAL BY ALLOWING MOST AMERICAN'S TO
HAVE THEIR LOVE AFFAIR WITH MARY JANE MINUS
THE FEAR OF BECOMING CRIMINALS. 

LEGALIZE IT ,COLLECT TAXES, AND OVERNIGHT ELIMINATE
THE HORRIBLE COST OF ENFORCING THE LAWS AND
THE MORE HORRIFIC COST IN LIVES. INDISCRIMINATE
USE OF ALCOHOL LEADS TO A DREADED DISEASE THAT
CRIPPLES THE USER, HIS FAMILY AND A SUBSTANTIAL
SEGMENT OF SOCIETY.

INDISCRIMINATE USE OF POT MOSTLY RESULTS IN
AN INCREASE IN APPETITE. MORE PEOPLE DIE FROM
THE USE OF ALCOHOL GLOBALLY THAN MOST DEADLY
EPIDEMICS COMBINED. THIS IS THE TRULY EVIL DRUG.

DENY THE PROFIT TO THE CARTELS AND ADMIT THAT
THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS ALREADY IN PLACE FOR THE
SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF MARY JANE. THE ONLY
DAMAGE WILL BE TO SMALL GROWERS WHO WILL
BE ELIMINATED BY CORPORATIONS WHO ARE ALREADY
INVESTING IN LAND AND WAREHOUSING TO GROW
AND DISTRIBUTE THIS DREADED SUBSTANCE. 
THE MONEY WILL REMAIN IN THE U.S. ECONOMY AND
WILL CREATE JOBS AND A NEW INDUSTRY, MUCH NEEDED
IN THE PRESENT NATIONAL CLIMATE.

PERHAPS IT IS TIME FOR THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT, WEAK
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS, THE PRESIDENT, CONGRESS
AND THE SENATE AND THE HUGE NUMBER OF AMERICANS
WHO HYPOCRITICALLY  USE THIS SUBSTANCE REGULARLY,
CONTRIBUTING TO CRIME AND THE COST OF ENFORCEMENT
WILL THEY CONFESS TO THIS SIN AGAINST SOCIETY ?
ADMIT YOUR SINS AMERICA AND REPENT.

PAYING THE FREIGHT

Recently a misinformed friend complained of
the high cost of shipping the President to various
countries on his recent tour. The cost of shipping a
president for any reason has always been expensive
but for political/economic expediency it often is
cost effective.

There was never a complaint about the cost of shipping
Bush around in spite the glaring fact that the results were
mostly never cost effective. The cost of shipping an intelligent
president or an idiot is about the same. Why the flap? it
seems that whatever Obama does vultures await in the
shadows to pick his bones, correction, his "black bones".

Please realize that culturally we are racists in the
United States , hiding behind a very thin veils basking
in the dark behind prejudice and ignorance. We simply
prefer a white president and not a black president.
I would like to point out that Obama is a glass half
full of black and white, however it is a full glass. Since
slavery one is considered black in the U.S. if one drop of
blood exist and can be traced back to a relative who is black.
In most peoples minds he is black. Which suggest to them
ignorance, possible culturally deficiencies and a preference
for supporting black issues and the dreaded creep of
imagined socialism.

The Civil War that fought over slavery still rages. Perhaps
sometime latent, ingrained by years of indoctrination
by history and politics. My admission to this fault is self
incriminating since when strolling I unconsciously cross
the street when I see a black man approaching me. This
is not a one party fault since Democrats and Republicans
alike share my cultural faults.

Globally racism sadly continues to run free in most
countries. Often it is now based on religion as well as
political formats. The United States does not have
the monopoly on this epidemic that seems to increase
daily.

The pathetic fact is that most of the banks and
corporations are run by lily white folks. Universally
it was white people who got us into this mess. Could
a black or even a white man turn around 15 or 20
years of greed and legalized usury in one term.

Think about this!

We rapidly approach the Presidential election, and we
shall see what goes down. What will happen if there is
a substantial decrease in unemployment?

Prediction, the idiocy and faulty policies will march
right back into the white house even if the failing
economy steps out of the closet and shines. We
will return to the old format of the privileged
running the banks and economy. This will result
in a slow recovery and we will blame the
"black man"for the lag and jettisons him in a
blaze of ignorance, never mind if his attempts
fail or succeed, the political process is in motion,
Obama will likely serve only one term. It would
be difficult to halt the freight train of misguided
citizens with that amount of political fat aboard.
The public will probably deny any progress and
return to the antiquated political processes
that will spell out an undefined future for most
Americans , especially those who are not a part of
the "privileged white class".

The rest of the world now views us as arrogant,
over privileged and generally fat and greedy. If the
shoe fits wear it with stupid pride.!

WHO REALLY LOST IN MID-TERM

Who really lost in the midterm elections?

Obviously Obama lost a lot of ground and no
longer has a true bully pulpit, one that he underused
in caution and weakness , that is his nature.
However he can now soon include the Republicans
in the nations failures. The consensus is growing
that the legislative branches of the government
believe they are there to pass laws that will give
them clout back home allowing them to continue
to be employed. Both sides of the aisle do not
monitor those laws once they have points for
reemployment by simply passing laws that "might"
possible benefit their constituents. The Democrats
lost some power but the stagnation of politics in
the U.S. had already drained that power to a
dribble of use. The citizenry lost any hope of
change for at least until the next presidential
election. Obama will in the end be a one term
president. Mostly we all lost in this election.

What does it all mean and how will,in truth, it
change politics in the U.S. and Globally?

Changes are unlikely to happen in the U.S. or
Globally. There will probably be a substantial
increase of young Americans returning in body
bags. They will almost entirely be volunteers
from the working class of America few will be
from privileged families. The "tribal war" will
continue in Afghanistan. We will continue to
wage futile wars as though we where "crusading"
not nation building. Will we never wake up to
the fact that the people of Iran, Pakistan,
Afghanistan, Iraq, and most countries in that
area see us as another tribe trying to grab
economic and political power. Globally we are
seen as "crusaders" as so stupidly put by
President Bush. There is some truth in this.
We will continue and most likely increase the
drain on the economy by waging "crusades"
of questionable justification. This matrix of
wasteful crusading will most likely continue
with your next president is elected who will
assuredly be a Republican

How tangible are the changes ?

The tangible benefits and changes are elusive.
Not likely that they will reach the average
American soon. However there may be an
increase in employment as Republicans
increase their responsibility if they continue
to blindly stonewall the entire political
process. They need to take that back home
increased employment to keep their jobs.
They are mostly building a monument to
procrastination and stupidity that will
endure. Each member of the Senate and
House should receive a small replica of
this monument to place next to their
miniature Statue of Liberty on their desk.
This is a redundant trait in American politics
that has a distinguished and dubious history
going back to the Revolution. The only true
benefit is that we must now seriously consider
health care in America. Not the cost of insurance
but the cost of the actual care. Or will it morph
into another commercial platform to benefit
insurance companies and not most Americans?
Most likely this problem will be kicked ahead
until the presidential election. Not many
tangible benefits to brag about. Hopefully
this stagnation will become a major issue
requiring President Obama,congress and the
house to get to work and stop quibbling like
children fighting over toys (IE. votes) in a sandbox.

The virtual Tea Party should return
to the Republican fold.

The emergence of the virtual Tea Party as
an expression of anger and dissatisfaction
is a non event of little value. Most will return
to the Republican party where they might
possibly contribute to the betterment of the
party. Many were put to pasture like cows
to chew on their cud. Historically anger and
dissatisfaction is not a substantial issue to
build a Party on.

Questions not answers, in the final analysis.
Not much of a constructive nature has
happened. Americans have the ability to
elect a president congressmen and senators
who will restore the dignity and economy of
America. You are the government. Please
vote with more responsibly in the future
and stop your whining. Face the reality that
it will be a slow recovery no matter what and
no matter who is in office.

CONFUSION IN THE NATION

"Be what you would seem to be - or
if you would like to put more simply
- never imagine yourself not to be
otherwise than what it might appear
others that what if might appear to
others that what you were or might
have been was not otherwise than
what you had been would have
appeared to them otherwise".

The incredible storm of misinformation
was summed up by Lewis Carrol
in this quote. Describes, individuals,
Republicans, Democrats and all the
new misinformed nubs that have
formed and morphed since Obama
was elected.

The media, the public, and the politicians
has worked up a lather of mistrust and
cofusion that even Carrol would be hard
put to understand.

THE U.S. IS A HOUSE DIVIDED

This week I declare , somewhat with tongue in cheek,
that we do not learn from history I will use a number
of quotes to illustrate that point. This is cross cultural
but primarily is applied to our sad state of existence as
a people now. There is something for everyone here left,
right, religious, agnostic etc.etc.etc.
The first quote is the most universal of all and is found
in the bible. This wise but mostly ignored, often proven
fact, has been a reality for some time. Matthew 12:25
Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, “Every kingdom
divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house
divided against itself will stand. ...If the members of a
group fight each other, the group will disintegrate". This
rings true and is good advice for Republicans and Democrats
who have destroyed order and created chaos in their
stubborn division. For no good reason or purpose.

Abraham Lincoln considered division when he declared in
his "House Divided" Speech
Lincoln stated: "Familiarize yourselves with the chains of
bondage and you prepare your own limbs to wear them
What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and
independence? It is not our frowning battlements, our
bristling sea coasts, our army and our navy.... Our
reliance is in the love of liberty which God has planted
in us. Our defense is in the spirit which prizes liberty as
the heritage of all men, in all lands everywhere. Destroy
this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism
at your own doors. spirit which prizes liberty as the
heritage of all men, in all lands everywhere".
"House Divided" Speech by Abraham Lincoln

A brief pause for humor, What is the nickname of a
1925 court case in which John Scopes was charged
with teaching evolution in the classroom? The trial was
nicknamed the ChaCha. Another example of the halting
of progress in the history of man and monkey. This was
a phrase that was generated by the sensational press of
the time and not lady GaGa. This divided the nation
pretty much down the middle into the religious right
and the "scientific left".

"George Washington delivered this speech over 200
years ago. The General spoke from a prepared text for
approximately five minutes. The remarks were built
around a series of parallel constructions that
emphasized the men's common sacrifice. They
had become like family, and he only wanted what
was just and right for them. But they must not be
imprudent or disloyal, not after having gone through
so much together, and not when so the men were
moved by his appeals--in fact, it was the most powerful
speech they had ever heard him deliver. To illustrate
I wish to turn to the man, the 200Th anniversary of
whose passing we shall be celebrating within the
week, and that is George Washington. We don't
usually think of Washington this way, but the historical
record bears out that the father of our country was a
master rhetorician when it came to expressing
love to, and eliciting love from, an audience. "from an
article by Gleaves Whitney-Recovering Rhetoric: How
Ideas, Language and Leadership can Triumph in
Most-Modern Politics". Published on January 14,
2000 by Gleaves Whitney

The speech was given by Washington when he got
wind of a mounting insurrection that was dividing
the war effort into two camps among his officers.
This was a crucial and deciding factor in this conflict that
would have undermined the nations defense.

Another pause for humor of a ironic nature. "Democracy
is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better
than we deserve". George Bernard Shaw. (1856 - 1950)
One must realize that Bernie must have had the average
American of today in mind when he uttered these words. You are
often the enemy not government.
Napoleon Bonaparte must have had a crystal ball when
he said that [Medicine is] "a collection of uncertain
prescriptions the results of which, taken collectively,
are more fatal than useful to mankind". French general
& politician (1769 - 1821).

Recently Obama has set up a new matrix for a new racist
attitude which was already at the root of some of his
unpopularity. This is a speech by By Aloha kakou. Mahalo.
Directed at the people of Hawaii who have for years
practiced a de-facto racism towards the indigenous people
of this far away state. Mostly known as a great all inclusive
golf vacation spot for the rich. No one leaves the safety of the
golf course to venture into the world of injustice and racism
that is outside. "The people of Hawaii are thoroughly intermarried and
intermingled. We live, work, pray, and attend school
side by side in the most racially integrated society
in all of America. What history and the free choices
of people have joined together, let not politicians
and racist demagogues rip asunder. Support equality,
unity, brotherhood, and aloha for all."

Obama has in his supposed innocence become the
man who has inadvertently divided the nation
racially for this reason and others he will be a one
term president. We would do well to remember
this quote from the
journal of John Adams. (1735 - 1826),
Journal, 1772 "There is danger from all men. The
only maxim of a free government ought to be trust
no man living ought with power to endanger the
public liberty".

Perhaps Obama has inadvertently done this but as
Harry Truman said " The buck stops here" Our
president is where the buck stops and no matter
how you rationalize it he is responsible for this sad
state of the nation. He is also responsible for the
diminished economic and political power that we
have taken for granted for so long.


You might accuse me of cynicism but again George
has some humorous advice for you about real
observation and real blame. "The power of accurate
observation is commonly called cynicism by those
who have not got it". George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)

One of our brilliant past president summed it up in one
quote that rings true with all politicians to the extreme
in this political climate. "You know what's interesting
about Washington ? It's the kind of place where
second-guessing has become second nature"
George W. Bush (1946 - ), Speech on May 17, 2002.
Thank you for those words of wisdom George which
about sums up most of the inhabitants ,underground
,above ground and loitering around the halls in
Washington these days.

Nation building is not needed in Iraq, or Afghanistan
or any place else but right here at home in the U.S.A.
We are paralyzed and divided by fear and mistrust
that there is now a critical need to rebuild the nation.
Not in the same old way but with a realistic eye to
the future. Again, "There is danger from all men. The
only Maxim of a free government ought to be to trust
no man living with power to endanger the public liberty".
John Adams (1735 - 1826), Journal, 1772

We have entrusted the nation to a man who for whatever
reason he has endangered public liberty simply by his
lack of leader ship, lack of accomplishments, and the
failures in domestic and foreign policies. Now we have
lost a war and the hearts and minds of most of most of
the world. " What others think of us would be of little
moment did it not , when known, so deeply tinge what we
think of ourselves". Paul Valery (1871 - 1945)

Until the restoration of our "status" as a world power
and leader we will, as individuals, remain in this sad state.
We are a nation divided, fragmented, and paralyzed
by our own inadequate sense of self.

WILL THE COST OF WAR RESULT IN PEACE ?

The year is 1989, December 20Th and Panama is
invaded by formidable U.S. force that included
27,684 troops and over 300 aircraft. Soundly
defeating the 46,000 Panamanian Defense Force.
Officially 200 Panamanian civilians died in the
conflict, many say that more like 2000 died due
to the brutal use of firepower in populated areas.
"JUST CAUSE" was justified by the U.S. as
the defense of human rights in Panama and
combating drug trafficking. The end result
was to guarantee the continued safe use of
the Panama Canal and the capture of the corrupt
president of Panama, Manuel Noriega and his
subsequent trial and imprisonment . He was
wanted for drug trafficking in the U.S. after years
of U.S. support that allowed his existence.

The Year is 2010 and the United States has landed
the 4Th fleet in Costa Rica. The President is
not wanted for Drug trafficking. This invasion is by
invitation of President Chihuahua and the Costa
Rica ruling body politic. The reason , combating
drug trafficking and to perform acts of mercy
and peace. Sound familiar ?

Most Central American countries have served as a
de facto pipeline for drugs like marijuana, cocaine,
and now the new "chemically" concocted drugs
to the U.S. and Europe. They have notoriously
turned the other cheek and allowed the transport
and some cases raw materials for the drug cartels.
No "criminal acts",involved only a breakdown of
responsibility and morality. The new apple in the
garden of Eden in this decade is greed and power.
Only Nicaragua can truly be excluded in this
group of facilitators.

However the invasion will probably be short lived
since most of the fleet will depart soon possibly parking
offshore in Venezuelan waters in a show of force. This
is in support of Colombia who is the supplier of
most of the worlds cocaine and 80% of the concrete
used in Panama. The media is now "predicting" at the
least an eminent border war between Colombia
and Venezuela.

The economic cost of an "out of control war" in South
America is almost an impossibility at this point. After all
the trade between Colombia and Venezuela is now
calculated to be $5 billion yearly. The U.S. has poured
over $5 billion in U.S. aid into Colombia and has infused
U.S. advisers throughout their huge military complex .
Venezuela has substantial oil reserves and supplies almost
20% of oil used in the U.S. Again the corporations
rule not the politicos.

An appetite for armed conflict does not exist in this climate.
Venezuela's military looks anemic when compared to
the U.S. backed Colombian military. Unless Chavez initiates
a Don Quixote attack on the 4Th fleet we will not see armed
conflict between the two (three?) nations. The poor in both
Venezuela and Colombia will remain poor and the de facto
trade and transport of Drugs will continue to grow. Ditto
Panama.

However the Drug cartels should beware since the seeds
for the legalization of drugs have been planted in the U.S.
This might herald the beginning of the end of free flowing
money to the criminal right. Already huge investments
are being made in real estate and facilities for the extensive
production of Marijuana in the state of California. If A new
industry is born leading the way to legalization of drugs.
Capitalism will win and the drug cartels will loose.
